Swedish prosecutors have issued a warrant for the arrest of Canadian former NHL player Andre Deveaux after he attacked an opponent on-ice before a promotion playoff between Rogle BK and Vasteras IK, the TT news agency reported on Tuesday.

Anyone who’s watched Mads Eller fly around the rink with abandon, speeding from one end of the ice to the other with a devil-may-care attitude and a singular focus on making the play, has probably wondered how the Edmonton Oil Kings forward somehow manages to avoid disaster every time.

Section 78.5-i of the WHL rule book states that the referee can disallow an apparent goal, “when the puck has been directed, batted or thrown into the net by an attacking player other than with a stick.”
